数词+形容词+量词
Structure: Numeral + Adjective + Measure word
Explanation
This structure is used to describe the characteristics of an object in more detail before specifying the unit of measurement. The adjective is inserted between the numeral and the measure word to emphasize a quality, e.g. '一大杯茶' means 'a large cup of tea', in which '大' (large) describes the cup of tea. This usage makes the sentence more vivid and specific, often seen when describing food or objects with a particular size or shape.
